Got the carb leak fixed and found out the hard way a hot battery is a necessity for running these things
Now the lower gear oil/ grease ran out in a puddle, on the floor from all the trying to start it and running it a couple short times. Took the prop off and the plate behind it , no seals whatsoever, I guess this is normal? The prop shaft goes thru a sleeve and fits pretty tight but still enough room for oil to get out / water to get in. If there are no seals do you just use the grease and keep it changed after every use ? Just don’t wanna take it out and destroy something, thoughts and suggestions are appreciated

It's a jungle out there.
